In the US develop a peace plan on the mutual recognition of Israel and Palestine.

U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry is working on the basis for future negotiations and agreements between Israel and the Palestinians. It is reported by Ynet, citing one of the Palestinian media.

Kerry, as expected, intends to present its initiative in January, before the change of administration of the President of the United States. It is reported that the draft plan, Kerry provides for the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders and exchange of territories as a result of which 80% of the settlements will remain under the jurisdiction of Israel.

Also provided for Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, and Israel must recognize a Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.

Recall that Israel has already said that leaving the White house administration can prepare another unpleasant surprise. Also, Netanyahu accused the Bush administration in initiating resolution of the UN security Council condemning Israeli settlement policy.

On 23 December, the UN security Council adopted a resolution which stated that Israel’s building of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory “has no legal effect and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law.”

It was supported by 14 members of the security Council, including Ukraine. USA, who have previously blocked such projects, abstained. The authors of the document are Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal and Venezuela.
